Problem 16P Suppose you flip 1000 coins. a) What is the probability of getting exactly 500 heads and 500 tails? (Hint: First write down a formula for the total number of possible outcomes. Then, to determine the multiplicity of the 500-500 macrostate, use Stirlings approximation. If you have a fancy
